Author tier · Free
Bring your work. Keep your byline. Free after editor approval.
Authors don't pay TECHi. Approved contributors can receive a public byline, editorial distribution, and payment terms tied to accepted work. Eligibility depends on sample quality, subject expertise, disclosures, and public profile corroboration.
Distribution
Front-page promotion
We can feature accepted work on the TECHi homepage, daily newsletter, and category feeds without asking authors to buy ads.
Revenue
Pay per publish
Flat rate per accepted piece + revenue share when articles cross traffic thresholds. Paid monthly via Stripe.
Identity
Public byline
Get a /@yourhandle profile, an Author badge after approval, and a permanent home for your work that survives platform algorithm changes.
Eligibility
Verifiable public work
We review linked profiles, portfolios, sample work, disclosures, and beat fit. Follower counts are not required, scored, or displayed. If your market work is strong and you want score-eligible research reports, the Analyst tier has a separate approval path.
You need a (free) TECHi account before applying.
